If I didn't check Flyertalk out every day, I wouldn't have seen the Marriott Stay 3 Days Get Silver & 2 Free Weekend Nights deal. DH had no chance of making Silver for next year, since we are working hard to keep him Gold in Hilton. With the 50,000 points we earned from something we found out here, we stayed in Hawaii free for 6 nights at HHV and the Delta points got the 3 of us there free. I love this site. We even did the AA 20,000 mile thing last year. He only travels once or twice a month and I appreciate the extras you guys have clued us into.
